I’m guessing this isn’t a problem at Buccees

I went in the store to pay for gas and stood behind a woman paying for cigarettes and lottery tickets with loose change.

Time moves slower for folks that don't have a job or responsibilities.

They dont take that shite.


Not where I live. They set up stores next to poor neighborhoods to become their defacto grocery store.

Arabs have the stores in the hood. Indians have them in the suburbs.

Hunt brothers Pizza


It's pretty good. Better than any chain store pizza like papa johns.


People working there will pick the toppings of them and eat them.

I know there are people that are down on their luck so I just let them do whatever. Definitely is an inconvenience to some but hey it is what it is.

I love when they are looking for a specific brand and type of cigarette and the store doesn't have it, so it becomes a process of "we have this / no I don't want that". Hurry up and buy your overpriced carcinogens so I can get my one item please.

I fricking hate chip cards. They never work.


The trick is 1. Don't tap it 2. Hold one side against the reader and turn it over to hold the other side.
Works every time! Try it and 3.thank me later

TSA Bag check is the worst to have to deal with imho


I was coming here to say this. 90% of people act like they have never been through airport security. And I am talking about all of the old snowbirds who travel here yearly. They are infuriating.
